Halloween Obstacle Course
Mr. O created a scary Halloween Obstacle Course in the Multi-Purpose Room this week.
Hoover Earned the Green Flag Award 
This is the message we got this week from the National Wildlife Federation:
CONGRATULATIONS! On behalf of the National Wildlife Federation, I am pleased to recognize your school for an exceptional achievement in receiving the Green Flag Award! Hoover Elementary is the first school in the State of Michigan to receive the Eco-Schools USA Green Flag, and NWF is honored to acknowledge and showcase all of your accomplishments.
To win the Green Flag Award, Hoover Elementary School students and faculty tackled a host of sustainability initiatives including the formation of an Eco-Action team, designing a living classroom, conducting various energy and waste audits and much more. These steps have led to a variety of different outcomes and learning opportunities over the last few years, and all are designed to raise environmental and natural awareness, cut waste, increase student engagement and save money for the school and surrounding area.
National Wildlife Federation was named the stateside host for the international Eco-Schools program in 2008. The original Eco-Schools (http://www.eco-schools.org/) program is an international network of 50,000 K-12 schools in 62 nations, started in 1994 by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) with support by the European Commission. It was named by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) as a model initiative for Education for Sustainable Development in 2003.

NATIONAL PTA
REFLECTIONS CONTEST:
Calling All Artists: Is your Hoover Rocket a visual artist, photographer, writer,
dancer, musician, or film maker? Then keep reading because the PTA has a
program for them!! Students make projects that are inspired by a theme. This
year’s theme is “Heros Around Me.” They can make a project in as many
categories as they want. It is free to enter!! This is the 50th
Anniversary of the National PTA’s Reflections Contest and we are excited to
offer it at Hoover. LPTSA will judge all the entries from Livonia Public
Schools. They will choose four winners in each age range and category. Then
they send those winners on to be judged at the state level. Top winners at the
state level go on to national judging. The deadline to turn in projects is
November 14, 2018. Please contact our Hoover PTA Reflections Chair, Christina
Testa, Christina.testa.80@gmail.com, if you would like information.
BAKE SALE: PTA will be hosting a bake sale this year
during the election on November 6th.
We will be in need of volunteers to man the tent outside and for baked
goods (store bought is fine). Please look for an e-blast next week with the
sign up genius
Upcoming Community
Fundraisers: Mark
your calendars for Skate Night at Riverside arena November 8th and
Five Below November 23-December 9th. Watch for more details to come
home soon. Thank you in advance for your support.
Holiday Parade: The Livonia Holiday Parade will be Sunday, December 2nd
starting at 4pm. The staging area will begin around 2:45pm at Frost Middle
School. We are looking for another great group of Hoover Families to walk
together in the parade. This event is open to all that want to participate.
Look for more details to come in future correspondence.
SPIRIT DAY TOTALS: No one shows school spirit like our
Hoover Rockets!! So far we have enjoyed Hat Day and College Day. Together we
have raised $361 for a worthy cause
yet to be determined. Last year we supported an organization near and dear to
our Hoover hearts while sending a family to camp. We are really excited to see
what we will be able to accomplish this year by using our school spirit money.
THANK YOU HOOVER FAMILIES!!!
